The Dutch "Type"

The Light Brown color
pattern is recognized by
both the American Poultry
Assoc. (APA) and the American
Bantam Assoc.(ABA). The
Light Brown color pattern
is among the best
developed varieties of
Dutch Bantam in North America.

Blue Light Browns have the same basic color pattern as the Light Brown.
The difference is the addition of a blue gene that turns the black areas
a steely gray. The blue dilution gene adds dark lacing to the breast of
the male and also creates a tan tone in the stippled brown areas of the
female.
